Why does stress build up at transform boundaries?

Physics
1 answer:
Rina8888 [55]3 years ago
3 0
Tectonic plate edges are not smooth. At transform boundaries, plates move against each other, but since the plates aren't smooth, lockups form. Stress is built up as both sides continue to steadily push against each other until there is sudden movement, where both plates quickly slide until they lock up again. This is what causes earthquakes.

The level of water in an olympic size swimming pool (50.0 meters long, 25.0 meters wide, and about 2.00 meters deep) needs to be
Goshia [24]
<span>We need to start by finding the surface area of the pool.
50 meters multiplied by 25 meters gives us 1250 square meters.
1250 square meters multiplied by .065 (6.5 cm in meters) gives us a volume of 81.25 cubic meters of water that needs to be pumped out of the pool.

There are 1000 liters in a cubic meter so this is 81250 liters. Divide by 4.2 to find the number of seconds required to pump out this much water and we get 19345.2 seconds. This equals approximately 5.37 hours.</span>

a bullet is fired upwards with the initial velocity of 250m/s. determine the time taken to reach the maximum height
Mnenie [13.5K]
The final velocity is 0 and the acceleration is gravity. Vf=Vi+at because gravity opposes the motion it will be -g
0=250-gt
gt=250 ....g=10
t=25sec

an Olympic runner leaps over a hurdle.if the runner initial vertical speed is 2.2m/s how much will the runners center of mass be
Snowcat [4.5K]
Supposing the runner is condensed to a point and moves upward at 2.2 m/s.
It takes a time = 2.2/g = 2.2/9.8 = 0.22 seconds to increase to max height. 
Now looking at this condition in opposite - that is the runner is at max height and drops back to earth in 0.22 s (symmetry of this kind of motion). 
From what height does any object take 0.22 s to fall to earth (supposing there is no air friction)? 
d = 1/2gt²= (0.5)(9.8)(0.22)²= 0.24 m

Why is knowing the direction of the force important?
vodomira [7]
Knowing the direction of a force is important because it helps someone know the motion of the object. if you use a free body diagram, then it becomes easy to see all the forces being applied to an object. if there is more force going one way, the object is accelerating in that direction. if all the forces cancel each other out, then the object is at a constant speed or is at rest.

At what speed, as a fraction of c, does a moving clock tick at four fifth the rate of an identical clock at rest?
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

The seed as a fraction of the speed of light is \frac{3}{5}c

Solution:

As per the question:

Suppose, t_{i} be the rate of an identical clock between two time intervals.

For a moving clock, moving with velocity 'v', at the clock tick of four-fifth:

t = \frac{5}{4}t_{i}

Now,

Using the relation of time dilation, from Einstein's relation:

t = \frac{t_{i}}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}

\frac{5}{4}t_{i} = \frac{t_{i}}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}

Squaring both sides:

(\frac{5}{4})^{2} = (\frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}})^{2}

\frac{25}{16} = \frac{1}{{1 - \frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}

1 - \frac{16}{25} = \frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}

\frac{v}{c} = \sqrt{\frac{9}{25}}

\frac{v}{c} = \frac{3}{5}

v = \frac{3}{5}c
